Spider Lily

 I have several spider lily bulbs that I germinate indoors and then plant outdoors. If the lilies bloom late in the summer or fall, they can be transplanted into containers and grown indoors.

 

Hymenocallis, or spider lily, is a genus of plants in the Amaryllidaceae family. This unique and elegant plant is sometimes called "sea daffodil" or "Peruvian daffodil."
Hymenocallis requires warmth to thrive outdoors. Spider lilies, available in white and red, are the most popular and widely grown plant worldwide.

A minimum temperature of 13 degrees Celsius is required for growth. Water moderately until the leaves appear green, then stop when the leaves begin to wilt in the fall. For the winter, the plant is dug up from the open ground and stored. Hymenocallis undergoes a dormant period during the winter.
This large, showy flower, rare in cultivation, is coveted by exotic plant collectors.
Hymenocallis is a beautiful flower, prized not only for its appearance but also for its wonderful fragrance, which is often strongest after sunset.

 

Hymenocallis has a tropical appearance when grown in containers. A blooming green garden on the veranda not only refreshes but also gives your home a pleasant look.
